Puppy Preschool

Train your new four legged friend at Newcastle’s Brunker Road Veterinary Centre. Led by Delta instructors, our Puppy Preschool is for all new puppies.

Our practice is responsible for hundreds of well behaved Newcastle dogs thanks to their puppy preschool training.

Studies have shown that puppy preschool has dramatically reduced levels of euthanasia in dogs due to behavioural problems, highlighting the importance of early socialisation for your new puppy. In addition, puppy preschool provides practical training methods and in-depth information on how to care for your new puppy.

Brunker Road Veterinary Centre’s Puppy Preschool Program

BRVC offers a Delta approved, extensive and highly regarded puppy preschool program run by our resident Delta dog trainer’s Sharon Tonkin, Abby Moran, and Stacey Murton.

Puppy preschool provides a safe, protected environment for you puppy to learn. All puppies must start between 8 and 14 weeks of age and have had their first vaccination.

The BRVC program consists of 60 minute classes, one night a week for 5 weeks, starting at 7pm. Our courses cover socialisation, settling, behaviour, handling, health and basic obedience. The aim is to have a happy, confident, well mannered pup with owners that are more knowledgeable and have a better understanding of their puppies needs.

Class numbers are kept to a maximum of 5 puppies as smaller classes provide less distraction to puppies and improves their ability to learn. These classes are very popular and we ask if you can book as soon as possible as classes are often booked out well in advance. Classes are run on most nights of the week.

If you’ve got a puppy in Newcastle and would like to book in for puppy preschool, contact us.

    Brunker Vet is outstanding. Our girl had Cruciate Ligament surgery and the vets along with the staff have been nothing short of amazing from the beginning. We still have a long recovery ahead however it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands❤️ Highly recommend. ❤️

    We recently had our King Charles Cav in for luxating patella surgery. Brunker Road Vets have been so helpful in the aftercare process, and I couldn't recommend them enough for any of your pet needs!🙏

    Brunker Road Vet is the best! I have been coming here for 3 months with my two kittens (Inky and Plop) and the team is just amazing. My cats and I receive the most thoughtful, compassionate and caring service every time. I am always treated with kindness and respect every time I visit, and I feel like a valued person! Special shout out to our vet, Dr Mcdougal, and Ash, for taking the time to answer as many questions as possible about my babies. I recommend everyone go here for their fur babies! You will be well taken care of 🥰🐈‍⬛🐈

  • I could not speak more highly of Brunker Road Vets. From the wonderful reception staff to the experienced vets and vet nurses, the care has been outstanding.
    My beautiful kelpie, Betty, has had a few health issues over the last couple of years and recently went through a pretty major surgery. Thank you so much to Sue for following her instincts and digging deeper when things just didn’t seem quite right. Because of that, they discovered a tumour on her spleen. Thank you to Lucy for successfully removing it and taking such incredible care of her. The level of compassion, professionalism and dedication shown to Betty has been exceptional. Nothing is ever too much trouble for this team, they take the time to explain everything clearly, and I’ve always felt completely informed about diagnoses, medications and care plans. We are incredibly lucky that her tumour is benign and that we get to spend more time with our beautiful girl. All of the staff at Brunker Road Vets have been extraordinary, and I’m so grateful to have such an amazing team caring for Betty.
